Creation of a Man [Finale]

[Tommy Knox]

I know it's a lil' late, but I finally recovered most of my work for that last ONIH match. Oh well, wanted to post it anyway.

The Final Monologue
Sunday 10:33 AM [October 22nd, 2011]
Tokyo, Japan

“The bullshit stops here. A lot of people out there seem to think that I don’t deserve to even be in this position that I am. Call it how you see it but just remember, I’m taking full advantage of this opportunity and slappin’ you all in the face while doin’ so. I’m been bustin’ my ass from day one when I decided to lace those boots up one more time. If someone thinks that I don’t deserve to fight for the gold then please by all means, knock me down a peg or two. I’ve had a rough start you could say but I’m in this thing one hundred percent with my eyes on the larger picture. I know there are few veterans to APW with their eye on the same prize but it’s time for them to step aside. You’re either goin’ to lay down, or you’re goin’ to stay down.”

“As for the little bitch who’s green as fuck to this business, let me tell you a thing or two. Manhattan, it’s time to “learn” you a thing or two, son. Somewhere in your “twisted” little mind you get the nerve to compare your worthless, meaningless, virgin career to mine? Although I’ve been on this same comeback since you’ve entered the business with your thumb up your ass, I can guarantee you that I have accomplished more than you can ever even imagine or dream to achieve. I’ll give you a little credit, you surprised me for a second but then it just got dull from there. You’ve stood in my way for too long. After One Night In Hell, if you ever get in my way again I promise you that you won’t stay in this business for long. You’re fresh off the streets? I grew up on the streets and learned to survive both in and out of the ring. This whole streak of beginners luck has been quite some rush, hasn’t it? I’ve felt it before myself. Luck won’t get you anywhere in the ring. You might get by from time to time but when it comes down to skills and experience in the ring, I’m goin’ to rip you limb by limb. I want you to see firsthand that I’m nothin’ near the description you’ve embedded of me in that little brain of yours. This sport can be a bitch when it wants to. It’s time for you to face reality and see that you’re not the hype shit that you think you are. You’re a green rookie without a clue in the world of what’s goin’ to go down in that chamber. After I eliminate you personally, maybe you’ll realize your place in my world… at the bottom of my boots.”

“What everyone seems to be missin’ here is the fact that I’m comin’ to this match knowin’ damn well that I’m goin’ to be the only mother fucker walkin’ out that bitch with the gold. For all you little punks out there lookin’ at me with those jealous eyes, call me out at the next Asylum while I’m sittin’ at my throne at the top of APW. I’ll put you in your places after I deal with what’s on my plate right now. One thing that really bothers me about this matchup is, knowin’ that I’m steppin’ into the ring with a full blown retard. I mean, do I hit him? Do I watch to make sure he doesn’t hurt himself? If he shits his pants, I’m not cleanin’ it up. Morrison, what’s the fuckin’ deal man? What’s with all the makeup? You have some serious issues bra’, but I’ll be your Huckleberry. It seems that you and I have a dilemma on our hands. Goldie, is goin’ home with only one of us. I understand your obsession but I just need you to realize that you’re not enough man for her. She needs someone that can make her proud, make her important and make her number one. You’re just not that guy, buddy. You’re nothing more than the gay friend. There, it’s out in the open. Now do me a small favor and keep to yourself in that chamber. I’d hate to be the guy kickin’ you ass and getting’ you off at the same time. This isn’t the circus, this in Nastyville. I’d like to welcome you and the others to my world.”

“I’m glad you mentioned our little beauty in this game of beasts. Look it babe, I thought I made it clear where your place was in this man’s world. Now you’ve done pissed off the wrong pimp, bitch! I’m not picky, not by far. I’ll be the first in line to earn a second tier title in APW but it just so happens I have top tier gold at the tips of my fingers. Maybe you should lay off all the makeup because I think the chemicals are seeping into that dumb little brain of yours. I’ve been mid-carder my whole life. I’m tired of eatin’ the same meal over and over. I want the steak goddamnit! I’m not in the mood hotdog chump titles. I’ll leave the scraps for you sweetheart, I’m fightin’ for the prime cut. Who are you to say where I belong and what I deserve? Just like the others, I guess I’m just goin’ to have to show you first hand that I’m goin’ to be the head dick in charge of this company full of nothing but pussies. After that title is draped over my shoulder and you’ve caught yourself in a stare of lust, maybe, just maybe I’ll take a few moments out of my life to break you over and show you who’s the top dog in what once was a fight of little bitches. It doesn’t stop though. After the alpha male has his way with you, you’re nothing more than a mere memory in the list of women that I’ve deflowered. All that’s left for you to do is wipe your mouth and do as you’re told.”

“The champ… where do I begin? The other week when I was in his corner I realized one thing. He isn’t as impressive as everyone seems to think he is. In fact, he sort of reminds me of Johnny Knuckles when he used to struggle in TcW. Rico, that strap around your waist seems to make you think you’re a little too big for those pants. You don’t know me. Don’t sit there and act like you do just by doin’ a little research on yours truly. I’ve been in the ring with bigger fish, sorry if that stings. I may have not “technically” won my entry match into the chamber but I’m here. Like it or not, I’m here and I’m not goin’ anywhere. You may have been on this block longer than I have but I’ve been in this game longer than you think. I’m comin’ into this match with one thing in mind for you, make that two. Takin’ your block over and rippin’ that gold from your filthy hands. You’ve been at the top long enough and honestly, it’s makin’ not only me but the rest of APW sick to the stomach. What this block needs is something new, something completely different… something that you’re incapable of bringing’ to the table. APW is on the verge of getting’ consumed by the lifestyles and influence of the one and only straight from the depths of Nastyville. You did however manage to get something right out of those cock suckin’ lips of yours. The past is in my rearview where it belongs. The future though, the future is what you should fear most. What’s everyone’s opinion of you goin’ to be when you walk down the aisle in front of all those fans with your head held low and your only claim to fame taken from you like candy from a baby? It’s time that Asylum had a new king. We can either do this the easy way or the hard way. If you want, I can beat the livin’ hell out of you and spill your blood all over the ring or you can lay down like the little bitch you are!“

“I guess it all comes down to you last old friend. When I first walked back into this business I had only one thing on my mind, only one thing eatin’ away at me from the start. Somehow or another I let our past consume me. It’s all behind now. What happened just over a year ago won’t happen again. Although I hate you, there’s still a small part of me holdin’ onto what little respect I have for you. What I’m tryin’ to accomplish now is sort of what you once helped me do early in my career. I don’t need your help now. Right now, at this moment, I’m fightin’ to be greater than I have ever been. You and I will meet in the ring one way or the other. I don’t care if I have those other jerkoffs kickin’ my ass from behind, I will get my hands on you and show you that I’m better than you could even think. If you’re smart enough, you’ll notice that I’m even better than you. Without someone standin’ behind you, in your shadow, you’re not the same Jason Kash that everyone enjoys watchin’ in the ring. Do you seriously think that Big Heavy or any of those other nobodies make you stand out for the crowd? You’re not catchin’ my attention. All I see is the same thing we all see over and over when you find yourself alone. Oh no, I’m all by myself! What do I do?! You do exactly what you do each and every fuckin’ time. You find one or two rookies to the sport and you polute their minds with your garbage that you claim to be influence. Influential Minds wasn’t just you, it was the three of us! After One Night In Hell, maybe you’ll have an epiphany of some sorts and realize that influence doesn’t revolve around you. Despite how Salieri feels about you, I’m comin’ for blood. I know he’s tried to contact you and at first it bothered me. Why, you ask? I don’t know. What I do know is this. We’ve had our run ins a time or two in this big circle of love and hate. After the chamber, you’re dead to me. I know you better in the ring than anyone else competing in this cluster fuck of violence. Not only do I know how you operate, I know what runs through your mind. I know how you’re goin’ to react to any obstacle that presents itself to you. I’m goin’ to be your biggest by far. Sorry to break it down to you so blunt, but our history only drives me to hate you more. It drives me to want to inflict more pain on you than you have ever felt and I for one know that you’ve been through hell and back. You say that we’ve found success as partners a few times and each time I ruin it for both of us. Those days are long gone. There’s only goin’ to be one of us finding success in this match and it sure as fuck isn’t you. I’ll see to it that you get eliminated by my hands or any other one of these bitches hands. History doesn’t always have to repeat itself. In this circumstance, you’d be the smarter man bettin’ on anyone other than yourself. We’ll see if you can be the better man like you claim to be. As you and everyone else had said lately, the past is just that, the past. It’s time for you to step down and hand the crown of influence over because yours seems to be getting’ a little stale as of late. As for pretending, who was it that beat you with ease actin’ like Shane Clemmens?”

“Goin’ into this match, I’m not the same man I was a few weeks ago. Even though the old bastard doesn’t give two shits about me, he’s brought me to a higher game… so to speak. I’m not seein’ in his way though, I want things my way. Fuck Salieri and this whole set up. I’m been playin’ bait for far too long. Now, there’s only one thing left for me to do. I have to show up at One Night In Hell at the top of my game, higher than everyone’s game. Sure, you could say it’s a long shot. Truth of the matter is, you all can kiss my ass. I’m my own man and it’s time I earn for myself, by myself in this little game of cat and mouse.”

“Heh… it’s good to dream, right? I can be whoever I want but at the end of the day I’m still in his pocket, deep. All I can do now is prove myself and earn respect from not only him but the rest of the world who’s doubted me in my troubled times. Win or lose, I know I’m walkin’ out of that match a better man regardless of whether or not the strap is around my waist. This is the final moment of truth before the big show. Let’s see just what Salieri has created…”
